Told in their own words, six Americans with vastly different ethnic, religious and educational backgrounds share stories of their sentences on death row for crimes they did not commit. As an evening of theatre that has the potential to change lives, the politics is exemplary, and the stories harrowing and uplifting.

Since '76 By Shirlene Holmes

A lot has happened since 1976 when Ntozake Shange's “For Colored Girls Who Have Considered Suicide When the Rainbow is Enuf" made its Broadway debut. In the spirit of Shange's"choreopoem," Since '76 has its finger on the pulse of black women in the new millennium.

Bitter, funny and fiercely honest, the play integrates a combination of music, prose and poetry into a collective of women's concerns as well as their resolve to sustain a sense of hope.

Now in its third year of development in this series that gives voice to emerging playwrights, Black Widow, a southern tale about spirituality and redemption will receive its first workshop production. Come play a part in the development of this new work.

At the height of the historic Harlem Renaissance,venues like The Cotton Club were jumpin' to a new beat called "swing."

Ain't Misbehavin' is a rollicking, finger-snapping and toe-tapping, TonyAward®-winning musical revue - a tribute to the black entertainers of the early 1900's that centers on the music of one of the most prolific musicians of the time, Thomas "Fats" Waller.
